The Health & Care Professional’s Choice

This category highlights a health technology which is highly valued by health and care professionals. In partnership with Roy Lilley’s pioneering The Academy of Fabulous Stuff, it looks for the person-focused health technology that professionals think has made a significant difference to care. It does not have to be high-tech, but must be aimed at the patient. The Academy of Fabulous Stuff is a platform on which professionals can share and search innovation, ideas and solutions. It has become a major social movement and is considered a key change platform for the NHS and social care.

TickerFit: An app that gives health professionals the tools to support patients in selfmanaging their heart health.

Patients can also automatically track metrics, such as activity levels. The application also reminds patients when appointments are due and provides a mechanism for users to feedback any relevant outcome measures. The personalised interventions put the patient at the centre of their recovery journey to drive positive behaviour change, providing communication channels for direct intervention where required. For healthcare providers, this ensures that resources are focused on what matters, allowing for scaled delivery of services and driving reduced readmissions. (www.tickerfit.com)
